Here's a first look at the full cover art for Derek Tait's new book, Houdini: The British Tours, which is set to be be published by Driftwood Coast Publishing on September 30, 2011. As the title suggests, the book will focus on Houdini's exploits "across the pond."

Derek says, "I've always been interested in Houdini and realised that there seems to be no book that deals with just his British tours alone and I think that it would be of great interest to many people. I hope to include as much as I can about Houdini's tours of Britain. So far, I've managed to gather together many newspaper stories from the the period, they all make very interesting reading. It's almost like being there sometimes!"

Houdini: The British Tours can be pre-ordered now on Amazon.co.uk. Thanks to Derek Tait for the preview!
